5 Indoor unit installation
Before installing the indoor unit, refer to the label on the product box to
make sure that the model number of the indoor unit pairs with the model
number of the outdoor unit.
Step 1: Select installation location
Before installing the indoor unit, you must choose an appropriate location. The
following are standards that will help you choose an appropriate location for the unit.
Proper installation locations meet the following standards:
—Good air circulation
—Convenient drainage of condensate
—Noise from the unit will not disturb other people
—Firm and solid—the location will not vibrate
—Strong enough to support the weight of the unit
—A location at least three feet from all other electrical devices (e.g., TV,
radio, computer)
DO NOT install unit in the following locations:
—Near any source of heat, steam, or combustible gas
—Near flammable items such as curtains or clothing
—Near any obstacle that might block air circulation
—Near the doorway
—In a location subject to direct sunlight
Note about wall hole:
While choosing a location, be aware that you should leave ample room for
a wall hole (see Drill wall hole for connective piping step) for the signal/
power cable and refrigerant piping that connect the indoor and outdoor
units. The default position for all piping is the right side of the indoor unit
(while facing the unit). However, the unit can accommodate piping to both
the left and right.
Refer to the following diagram (Fig. 3) to ensure proper distance from walls, ceiling
and floor:
12cm (4.75in)
or more
[recommended] 183cm (72in) or more
12cm (4.75in)
or more
15cm (5.9in) or more
Figure 3
Step 2: Attach mounting plate to wall
The mounting plate is the device on which you will mount the indoor unit.
1. Remove the screw that attaches the mounting plate to the back of the indoor
unit.
2. Place the mounting plate against the wall in a location that meets the standards
in the Select Installation Location step.(See Mounting Plate Dimensions for
detailed information on mounting plate sizes.)
3. Drill holes for mounting screws in places that:
—have studs and can support the weight of the unit
—correspond to screw holes in the mounting plate
4. Secure the mounting plate to the wall with the screws provided.
5. Make sure that mounting plate is flat against the wall.
If the wall is made of brick, concrete, or similar material, drill 5mm-
diameter (0.2in-diameter) holes in the wall and insert the sleeve anchors
provided. Then secure the mounting plate to the wall by tightening the
screws directly into the clip anchors.

Step 3: Drill wall hole for connective piping
You must drill a hole in the wall for refrigerant piping, the drainage pipe, and the
signal/power cable that will connect the indoor and outdoor units.
1. Determine the location of the wall hole based on the position of the mounting
plate. Refer to Mounting Plate Dimensions on the next page to help you
determine the optimal position. The wall hole should have a 65mm (2.5in)
diameter at least, and at a slightly lower angle to facilitate drainage.
2. Using a 65-mm (2.5in) core drill, drill a hole in the wall. Make sure that the
hole is drilled at a slight downward angle, so that the outdoor end of the hole
is lower than the indoor end by about 5mm to 7mm (0.2-0.275in). This will
ensure proper water drainage. (See Fig. 4)
3. Place a protective wall sleeve (not included) in the hole. This protects the
edges of the hole and will help seal it when you finish the installation process.
CAUTION:
When drilling the wall hole, make sure to avoid wires,
plumbing, and other sensitive components.

3. Open the panel, and fix the position of the panel by the latch (see
Fig.12).
Figure 12
4. Use the holder in the mounting plate to prop up the unit, giving you
enough room to connect the refrigerant piping, signal/power cable, and
drain hose.
Figure 13
5. Connect drain hose and refrigerant piping (refer to Refrigerant Piping
Connection section of this manual for instructions).
6. Keep pipe connection point exposed to perform the leak test (refer to
Electrical Checks and Leak Checks section of this manual).
7. After the leak test, wrap the connection point with insulation tape.
8. Remove the bracket or wedge that is propping with insulation tape.
9. Using even pressure, push down on the bottom half of the unit. Keep
pushing down until the unit snaps onto the hooks along the bottom of the
mounting plate.
If there is no refrigerant piping embedded in the wall, do the following:
1. Based on the position of the wall hole relative to the mounting plate, choose
the side from which the piping will exit the unit.
2. If the wall hole is behind the unit, keep the knock-out panel in place. If the
wall hole is to the side of the indoor unit, remove the plastic knock-out panel
from that side of the unit. (See Fig. 14). This will create a slot through which
your piping can exit the unit. Use needle nose pliers if the plastic panel is too
difficult to remove by hand.
Knock-out Panel
Figure 14
3. Use scissors to cut down the length of the insulating sleeve to reveal about
40mm (1.57in) of the refrigerant piping. This serves two purposes:
To facilitate the Refrigerant Piping Connection process
To facilitate Gas Leak Checks and enable you to check for kinks in
the refrigerant and condensate tubing.
4. Connect the indoor unit’s refrigerant piping to the connective piping that will
join the indoor and outdoor units. Refer to the Refrigerant Piping Connection
section of this manual for detailed instructions.
5. Based on the position of the wall hole relative to the mounting plate, determine
the necessary angle of your piping.
6. Grip the refrigerant piping at the base of the bend.
7. Carefully, with even pressure, bend the piping towards the hole. Do not kink or
damage the piping during the process.

By default, the drain hose is attached to the left-hand side of unit (when you’re facing
the back of the unit). However, it can also be attached to the right-hand side.
1. To ensure proper drainage, attach the drain hose on the same side that your
refrigerant piping exits the unit.
2. Attach drain hose extension (purchased separately) to the end of drain hose.
3. Wrap the connection point firmly with Teflon tape to ensure a good seal and
to prevent leaks.
4. For the portion of the drain hose that will remain indoors, wrap it with foam
pipe insulation to prevent condensation.
5. Remove the air filter and pour a small amount of water into the drain pan to
make sure that water flows from the unit smoothly. If not, make adjustments
and test again to see if the condensate will flow freely.
Make sure to arrange the drain hose according to Fig. 15 & 16:
DO NOT kink the drain hose.
DO NOT create a water trap.
DO NOT put the end of drain hose in water or a container that will

Step 2: Install drain joint
Heat pump units require a drain joint. Before bolting the outdoor unit in place, you
must install the drain joint at the bottom of the unit. Note that there are two different
types of drain joints depending on the type of outdoor unit.
If the drain joint comes with a rubber seal (see Fig. 23, pos. A ), do the following:
1. Fit the rubber seal on the end of the drain joint that will connect to the
outdoor unit.
2. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of the unit.

3. Rotate the drain joint 90° until it clicks in place facing the front of the unit.
4. Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to the drain joint to redirect
water from the unit during heating mode.
If the drain joint doesn’t come with a rubber seal (see Fig. 23, pos. B), do the
following:
1. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base pan of the unit. The drain joint
will click in place.
2. Connect a drain hose extension (not included) to the drain joint to redirect
water from the unit during heating mode.
NOTICE
In cold climates, make sure that the drain hose is as vertical
as possible to ensure swift water drainage. If water drains too
slowly, it can freeze in the hose and flood the unit.
